This month, the boys and girls from Seomra Naoise have been blogging with a class from Dubai on kidblog.org!  Their class name is 3 Silver and their teacher’s name is Ms Sophia.  We are really enjoying talking to them about their learning, life in Dubai and of course the differences between Ireland and Dubai!

 

3 Silver

 

So far we have learned lots!! These are some of the interesting points we have learned!!

• The weather is so different compared to the weather here in Ireland.  At the moment it is (on average) about 24 degree celcius! They also said it hardly rains!
• They are surrounded by desert and if they drive ten minutes, they often see camels!!
• Most of the subjects they learn in school are the same as ours but they also learn Arabic and we learn Gaeilge!
• Their weekend is Friday (because this is their main praying day) and Saturday. They go to school on Sunday!!
• The children from 3 Silver call their teacher by her first name (Miss Sophia) but in Ireland we call out teachers by their surname!
• The topic they are learning about at the moment is ‘Dinosaurs’.  We have also learned about dinosaurs this year
